Everything about this bottle is typical of the work of Adam Selick: it was found north of Pittsburgh, it has a dedication, fans, a ladder and birds, and is decorated in blue ink or pencil.

| This bottle contains a ladder-like construction with several fans and carved birds on it. The fans are decorated with blue and red paint, and the birds are dark blue. At the top of the ladder is a half-round sign inscribed in pencil "Montrose House" on both sides. Attached to the stopper is another sign with "Mary Moritz 1892" on one side and "Henry Boicz(?) Moritz" on the other. The date 1892 is also written on the base. |
